Mom Hair

Did anyone catch that segment on the Today Show a week or so ago about mom hair? I watched it, riveted, hoping to get some inspiration. Not the case, as for some reason they focused on short hair, even though the teaser showed women in ponytails (the story of my life). Since I can't count on the Today Show to help me, I've made my own decision. I not only have mom hair, I have it's dreaded older sister, frump hair. Gasp!!

Yes, I know. Since the birth of BeachBaby, my hair rarely sees a style that's presentable. Actually, my presentable style IS a ponytail, if that tells you anything! My hair is super thick and naturally curly, but not in a good way. Which means that styling the mane involves at least 5 clips, a blowdryer, flat iron, and curling iron. And when I'm feeling daring, hot rollers. As you can imagine, this is quite time-consuming, and virtually impossible with a baby. Therefore, most days are spent in a rat's nest type bun that looks as good as you are envisioning.

I need a new 'do! But I don't want the dreaded mom hair! If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or free styling advice, send them my way!

If cleanliness is next to Godliness....

.....then bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

Why does my house always seen dirty? I mean, I just cleaned LAST WEEK. That's all I'm supposed to have to do, right?

Of course, maybe it's because both the dog & the cat shed like crazy (Ok, the truth is, so do I. I can never commit a crime because my DNA will be everywhere and convict me. But that's another story.). There is enough hair on the floor to make a sweater. Do you think there's a market for that? Cat hair cardigans? Hmm....

I doesn't help that I hate to clean. I just think the house should BE clean. Permanently. Indefinitely. Forever. Of course, I guess that's not my reality. Until I get rich from the cat cardis, that is. I'm taking preorders now!

Well, Here I Am

As I've been watching The Real Housewives lately, I've been thinking about this blog. Who really lives like that? So much drama! I keep thinking that I would like to see a "real" Real Housewife. One who coupons, isn't rail thin, and occasionally goes days (!) without a shower. You, know, REAL. So, I decided, I'd just be that girl / mom / housewife.

So here we go. Without further ado, I present ME. A real housewife. With some issues, but much more in touch with reality and dirty diapers. So stay with me to watch what happens as I get real about being a wife & stay-at-home mom. It might be boring, but at least you'll feel better about yourself!
